Fun fact in an old manuscript it says that unscrewing the pommels and throwing the blade at the opponent to kill them is called to finish him rightly

Hello Skallagrim fans! I'm one of the guys in the video and wanted to thank you all for being such dedicated viewers for Skallagrim. I've seen quite a few you-tube communities and you're by far the best. Keep interested, keep watching and share with your friends!

I had a teacher who was a historical fencer, he used a style passed through generations in his family; he was a direct descendant of don Juan Quijada de Reayo, one of the most prominent fencers in the old Spanish fencing style. Sadly he died without passing the style because nobody was willing to be his student :/

What I find so fascinating about these guys is that just about every time they spar there is never a clear winner...they are both on such a high skill level it almost always comes down to luck or a careless mistake, but neither gets careless very much.

See, if you had Ricard's Rapier, you could have used that awesome power attack. You know, the one that takes 6 years to project, then gets instantly parried and kills you? Best attack ever.

this is amazing! especially like how still they appear until one of them see's an opening, also liked how pronounced Richard is with his weight on the back foot, his stance is very relaxed almost ragdoll like but than he pounced like a cat! Lee seemed to have most of his weight on the leading leg... is this correct? thanks for the vid Skall :)

I didn't even realize this was Skall until I heard him talk. I was just looking for a good example of rapier sparring lol

They are equally good. Damn. I need to learn more of this stuff really. At first it seems that they are going in a slow pace, but irl, im sure there's a lot of adrenaline going on in the process. Nice.

I was hoping that Richard was going to throw his pommel a Lee at the 2:40 point. In all seriousness though, what was he fiddling with his weapon for?

I was getting tired. This was at the end of the day after classes and other sparring. But, glad it came out well.

I watched the match shift when the hand switch happened and instantly thought of The Princess Bride where the protagonist indicates he is not using his dominant hand and they switch... too funny.

I like how it is slow and controlled, technique not flash. There is speed, but only when needed. I wish movies did this, the tension builds up.

Sparring is just so fun and it’s cool to watch

"do those pommels come off" we're proud of you skall

Starting Hema rapier practice's next week for the first time.. Really looking forward to it.

highlighting how important precision is, rather than just speed

An elegant weapon from a more civilized age

Great video Skall! Lee and Richard are a delight to behold. Nice music to set it to as well. It brought to mind Conner MacLeod getting repeatedly run through while drunk. lol

Mr. and Mrs. skallagrim will we ever see you in one of these sparing matches. ps I have been watching you for a while and this is the only channel i have the notifactions turned on for best yt account. also what do you think about the kilij would you recommend.

hey Skall I love all the dueling videos you've been posting recently, also did you re-upload the blood and iron video? or is that a different one?

always a joy to watch the professionals

awesome video!

nice choice of music, Skall :D

I would love to see these two duel like this, with more variants of swords :D, it's great. The last time it was sabers. Or was it scimitars? Anyway, it's cool to see, and I´d like to see more like it!

dat music in the Background :D Nice pick skall. Greets from one german viewer :D

Thanks for these videos Skal! Really interesting stuff, even for a non-practitioner like me! :P

Great instruction and sparring

I need to know: Richard, where did you get that skull groin protector?? I want one!

Hey Skall! Do you think you would make a video of your thoughts concerning your the whole "ban the Ar-15" thing going around lately? I'd love to see it.

What was with the slow-mo close up of the baby cut on the knee after being thrust in the heart?

Mr. skallagrim have you ever done any cold steel sword reviews and if not, be willing to offer any opinion on them should you have any.

yo skall whats that music? i like it!

most of the fights realy are decided with one good hit.

Such an elegant way of swirdfighting.

In real combat you're not using your hand to grab the rapier eithet so you might as well allow light contacts in my opinion. It would allow more fluent movement.

what happened to your montante sparring vid dude? can't find it anywhere.

Is Richard Marsden using the spanish fencing verdadera destreza? The left guy is using the french style, but Marsden is using a mix between spanish and french style I think. Regards from Seville, Spain.

I want to try this now!

Why did YT suddenly recommend this to me? Granted, I don't remember seeing it 2 years ago! Not complaining.

please someone tell me what's the name of those black and white shin guards, they seem really good

More interesting than fencing as a sport. Being able to sidestep really adds... a new dimension to the fight.

Good jon, nice content!

Richard's rapier is absolutely gorgeous! Is it a Darkwood?

I believe Blood and Iron study Joachim Meyer's Rapier.

The background chamber music makes this.

The classical music makes it seem like such a civilized and dignified thing. ;D

Hey skall I just thought of an interesting question for you, if you had to be in a 1v1 sword fight what would be your go to sword?

I love the music in the background but that would have been the second last thing I would have expected from you. The first one was your collaboration with Lloyd.

Can you ask them to do a video on tips for stance in polish saber sparring? I am going to attempt to teach myself but would like some pointers

Richard was the one in the red? I love his structure. I don't know much about HEMA but just looking at him, he seemed so outstanding.

So where does one go to learn these skills? I've heard HEMA but people some to have an aversion to HEMA, any suggestions?

I was trying to watch some rapier competitions, and i couldn't figure out what was going on, want to teach Skall?

Very late comment but, these rapiers seem quite flexible, the metal bending quite easily. Is this just done for safety reasons in dueling? I was under the impression actual rapiers were quite firm but I could be wrong

"Stab at me bro" that had my sides hurting. Lol!

Hooooray!!! Marsden returns!!!!

A large sword would lop off a limb or just kill you fast... while thin swords made for puncturing... They will enter and just destroy all your organs, and all you can do is sit there and bleed out slowly. it's not fast like losing an arm or a head, it's very, very, very slow and i could imagine very painful.

Can someone tell me the name of the black and white shinguard?love it

There was a lot of swords hanging in the background. I hope you got their permission to film them.

I noticed that red socks was quite impatient for the field and was almost always the one making the attack, and usually getting hit as a result. combined with white shin guards generally not pressing the attack and just moving backwards for an opening to strike. Would be curious to see how white initiates an attack, if ever. in any case, fun duel guys!

Do you ever do rapier and dagger dueling?

why was the shin contact at the start pointed out. it came way after the full piwer thrust to the left chest.

I'm sure this has already been answered but is the swept hilt rapier a hanwei rapier?

I really like the ball protecting skull!
